In this social media age, we tend to exaggerate the positive and distress about the negative.
The truth is: We will have bad days. We will get flat tires. We will get delayed in travel. We will have things stolen; we may even get robbed. We will have things broken. We will get sick. People will disappoint us, maybe even mislead or con us. Some places will not be like we’d hoped; we will find some things inhospitable despite our most open minds and positive attitudes.
But what it’s important to understand is: that’s not the point at all. The whole reason we are taking this adventure in the way we are choosing to do it is NOT to find the”perfect” experience, or even a comfortable one. It’s to find genuine experience. And genuine experiences are not always nice. But, they are the ones we will remember for our lifetime. They are the ones that will teach us something. They are the ones, arguably the only ones, that will make us grow as human beings.
Our goal will be to tell you about these experiences as honestly as we can, good and bad. We are looking forward to the adventure!
Well said! Always remember, “you never have bad days, only bad moments in that day. Something good will happen everyday. Dwell on those!
Very well put and very true. We want to hear the good and bad on this amazing adventure–our hair is already grey! Love you both and thinking of you a whole bunch this weekend.
